This weekend: Bellator 52

UFC on Versus 6 has been grabbing the highlights for the weekend. I was too focused on it until I forgot that Bellator is have their own event on the same day 1st of october. Its the season 5 of their tournaments and this time its the Heavyweights turn

Bellator 52 will be held in L’Auberge du Lac Casino and Resort,Lake Charles, Louisiana, United States or can be see live on MTV2

The Bellator heavyweight contestants are all eyeing to win the 100,000 and a shot to the Heavyweight title that belong to Cole Konrad

Most of the guys I have never heard of, let alone seen them fight. Knowing this is a Bellator card and Bjorn Rebney always puts on a very good card i.e. Bellator 51, we are going to have some fireworks

The most recognizable names in the card should be Neil Grove and Abe Wagner.

The South African Neil Grove has fought in the UFC (Once) and have fought a number of former or current UFC talent, The likes of Rob Broughton, Eddie Sanchez, James Mcsweeney, james Thompson.

His last fight against Zak Jensen was a fans dream. A war. A bloodbath. Zak Jensen went for a kneebar, so too Neil Grove and in an awkward position, the both of them start throwing punches. Zak Jensen to the Body, Neil Grove to the head. Neither would budge until Neil landed the bigger shots and He won by TKO in the second minute of the first round



The other recognizable name for me is Abe Wagner. I saw one of his fights where he fought former UFC champ, Tim Sylvia and the dude beat Tim in under a minute. An upset. The biggest win for Abe Wagner. But the dude ain't no sloucher too. He fought Travis Browne who is currently in the UFC for the VFC Heavyweight title but lost to him by way of Knock Out
